Foundation Training IS the Foundation!

When I first came across FT it was the original 12 Minute Workout with Dr. Goodman and two trainees on YouTube. It was free, incredible instruction, and it made me feel better almost immediately. Then a few years later, I had the great fortune to come across a brand new DVD set in a thrift store- score!! And then, finding out from @foundationtraining’s instagram page they put together a free app- I couldn’t have downloaded it fast enough!! I used the free “Community” content for quite some time, but began wanting to access all the other inaccessible features of the app exclusive to subscribers. That’s when I did myself the priceless favor of subscribing yearly. I will never go back!!
I have abused my body, playing hard in 49 years, with lots of injuries. Without a doubt, the amount of information that Dr. Goodman, Coach Salas, ALL of the fantastic trainers, and all the FT Collaborators have made understandable, and relate able, for making bodily restoration attainable, I will be forever a student. In fact, my two year plan is to take a certification course!!
I am giving Five Stars because my life is better with the FT philosophy and app!
There is a ton of invaluable information within the app, and it takes time to discover it all (which I have not even come close to yet!), but when you have a lifetime to enjoy healthy body freedom, one morning and one evening at a time, that is the perfect timeline routine!!
The last thing I would encourage anyone to do, download the free app, get familiar, then do yourself the most kind favor you can, and subscribe yearly. What you gain back in pain-free freedom to move, for less than $14 a month is outrageous!!!

Foundation Training is life changing

I cannot recommend this app enough. It saved me from the low back and hip pain that prematurely ended my career. After two surgeries, I’d come to the conclusion that I had to take control of my own recovery. I was on a pelaton for 60-90 minutes a day. Working out with great results but no amount of PT and stretching could fix my limited range of motion. I was merely working around it.

Finding foundation training was the missing piece to beating the pain. To the enhanced level of control and feel within my own body. My balance is better. My posture is better. My pain is a thing of the past. I’m back to work, my life is light years better thanks to foundation training.

Dr Goodman I sincerely thank you.

Excellent!!!

Dr Goodman and Jesse Salas go above and beyond to teach Dr Goodman’s method of Foundation Training. I’ve never seen such a comprehensive approach to not only building strength through poses and movement, but correcting and healing through them! They’re both amazing teachers. My husband has been faithfully doing Foundation Training for 10 months now. After 6 months, his pain from a sprained back was gone, his flexibility is massively improved, he is getting more wattage on his bike rides, feeling zero discomfort in a vehicle when sitting for long periods, his balance is even better than before and he’s always surfed and rides a skateboard. As a personal trainer myself, I have seen huge improvements in my own hinge mechanics when deadlifting and have been able to utilize FT spinal decompression to release tension and connect with my body before a workout better than with any other technique I’ve used before. Foundation Training is a no-brainer. Yes, it takes work and dedication, but what are you waiting for?
Pain free movement awaits you!

Changed my life

Foundation training fixed a hip issue I had dealt with for 20+ years. Now I sleep pain free every night! Also fixed my posture. These movements get incorporated into your everyday movement.

The Best

They are the best when it comes to movement. Thank you.

Far my most expensive iOS app and worth every penny.

No more freebies

I’ve had paid subscriptions of a year and then monthly for quite a while and enjoyed the routines. There seems to be too much content these days.

Also, I return once in a while to do the original 12 minute which was a “freebie” along with a few other sample routines.

This is no longer an option. No more sample workouts in the name of $$ and getting you to subscribe.

Goodbye Dr. Goodman

Lumbar Fusion

I had surgery over a year ago. Foundation helps me move right now and I will follow it for years to come to stay aligned. Also, what a great way to start and end most days to decompress mentally and physically.

Fantastic

Great app , workouts keep getting better

Much Love

I purchased my first Foundation Training DVD set in 2013. I’ve been ‘practicing’ for over 11 years. Love the program and workouts now more than ever! I have a desk job, three crazy kids, a beautiful family - and I am 11 years post lower back surgery. Doing great! Nothing provides stability and pain relief more than Foundation Training. Thank you, much love. - Mikey Thomson -also, would love a quick ‘favorites’ button on the home browse page of the app-

Foundation training is a must for people of all ages

Started foundation training to help fix some lower back issues and it has become part of my weekly routine. I am a BJJ practitioner so getting injured is a weekly process but with foundation training I know how to get things fixed up. New content is added regularly and covering all walks of life. Thank you Eric Goodman and team for being this training to everyone.

Great back help but they are removing content from the app.

I have done foundation training for many years and it has greatly helped my back. There was a really great 14 week baseline program I completed many times. They recently removed that program and replaced it with a shorter version and removed some key workouts. Not sure why they did it but the new baseline program is much shorter and not as good.

Great app, even better results for back pain

The app works great. Reliable, easy to use, always works.

The protocols with FT are something else though. Amazing. Truly effective. Easy to learn and easy to adapt to your particular needs.

The team at FT are also on hand and very responsive to comments and feedback in the community forum that’s built into the app.

Highly recommend.

Spinal decompression & proper alignment

This program is based on solid anatomical health tenets developed by doctors and therapists. There is nothing gimmicky or quick fix and no meds, supplements or other nonsense. It’s just about getting your body aligned and pain free.

Foundation Training is amazing

The program works—by doing the movements, my back has expanded, my posture improved, , I have more feeling of ease in my body, and my understanding of my body’s workings has gotten better. All in all a great program.
A note to the developer regarding the app: as others have mentioned, videos do hang/buffer mid workout, especially at the beginning, which lowers the experience. The program’s still worth it, and it’s also worth improving.

Answer to prayer!

Eric is a God send. Thank you for helping this ol’ girl be able to do what she loves despite disease & injury.

If there were ever a miracle pill…

If there were ever a miracle pill… it wouldn’t be a pill at all. I found Foundation training through back pain. quite a bit of back pain. living years with scoliosis, a broken sacrum and many trashed disks. My spine was not happy and i felt pretty screwed. THEN, I tried this method called Foundation Training. I honestly felt immediate relief. It quickly started to help with my pain, so much so, it got me off 4 years of pain meds ! It is now my go to.… every day.… it keeps me strong, out of pain and able to surf. The genius of these simple movements, that are totally challenging and truly mind and body expanding, are real. The connections i can feel in my body now, it is life changing. Foundation Training has me surfing like this 67 year old… is 17 again! Get the app and get started 🤙🏼get strong

Too much bro energy 😬

This is such an amazing program but the instructors with the most classes need some guidance. I think I hit on the worst classes during my free trial (“grab your butt, jiggle your butt” - to ensure the gluteus muscles aren’t engaged) but I didn’t see enough classes from other instructors to make the $170 price tag worth it. I’ll stick with the free options until they dial back the “dude” feel from the two main instructors. For those who can handle that aspect of things, the concepts and science behind the training are rock solid and of great benefit.
